Which star is most worth their price tag?

Mike Wallace

Cedric Benson

Braylon Edwards

With the Steelers having the ability to sign restricted free agent wide receiver Mike Wallace to an extension, the fact that he hasn’t means the team and player are far apart on the financial terms.

This is exactly where a motivated team like the Denver Broncos could swoop in and steal Wallace right out from underneath their AFC foe Steelers’ noses.

Since becoming a starter in his second season, the fourth-year player has over 130 receptions, 2,400 yards and 18 touchdowns. That’s something Peyton Manning would love to have as a target.

The Cincinnati Bengals have made it perfectly clear that they do not want Cedric Benson back in the backfield mix this season.

Despite three straight 1,000-yard seasons, Benson will be trying to find a place to hang his hat in 2012. With all of his talent and experience, that won’t be as difficult as many people believe.

Critics can look at the 3.9 yards per carry and complain all they want, but Benson can be the kind of bruising short-yardage back that complements a speedster perfectly. This is someone the New York Giants should look at to replace Brandon Jacobs.

Braylon Edwards had one of the worst seasons in his career last year thanks to poor effort and injury issues. However, with the price tag as low as it is, a team would be foolish to pass on the former Pro Bowl receiver.

Edwards didn’t fit in the San Francisco 49ers offensive scheme at all and went from a fairly effective member of the New York Jets in 2010 to nothing in 2011.

If the former Cleveland Browns star can find a role on a team with a solid pass game, there is nothing to say he will not return to prominence.
